Answer:

The combined standard deviation is 1.58114.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to compute the combined standard deviations of two different data sets is:

SD_{c} =\sqrt{\frac{n_{X}S^{2}_{X}+n_{2}S^{2}_{Y}+n_{X}(\mu_{X}-\mu_{c})^{2}+n_{Y}(\mu_{Y}-\mu_{c})^{2}}{n_{X}+n_{Y}}

Here \mu_{c} is the combined mean given by:

\mu_{c}=\frac{n_{X}\mu_{X}+n_{Y}\mu_{Y}}{n_{X}+n_{Y}}

It is provided that the sample size is same for both the data sets, i.e.n_{X} = n_{Y}=n

Compute the combined mean as follows:

\mu_{c}=\frac{n_{X}\mu_{X}+n_{Y}\mu_{Y}}{n_{X}+n_{Y}}\\=\frac{(n\times10)+(n\times10)}{n+n}}\\=\frac{20n}{2n}\\ =10

Compute the combined standard deviation as follows:

SD_{c} =\sqrt{\frac{n_{X}S^{2}_{X}+n_{2}S^{2}_{Y}+n_{X}(\mu_{X}-\mu_{c})^{2}+n_{Y}(\mu_{Y}-\mu_{c})^{2}}{n_{X}+n_{Y}}}\\=\sqrt{\frac{(n\times1^{2})+(n\times2^{2})+(n(10-10))+(n(10-10))}{n+n}}\\=\sqrt{\frac{n+4n}{2n} } \\=\sqrt{\frac{5n}{2n} } \\=\sqrt{\frac{5}{2}} \\=1.58114

Thus, the combined standard deviation is 1.58114.

Nesterboy [21]
This is probably wrong, but from what I know, there are 16 vertices, 24 edges, and 10 faces. I’m not sure if this is wrong, but I did some math and some research, and this is what I got.
